Dovetails, need some help guys....

im going to buy a box van to work out of this year and i want to put a dovetail on the back of it... anybody know where i can get one made in the south and about how much they cost? All help is appreciated.

A good welding shop in your area can build what ever you want just keep in mind new steel prices are pretty high still. Another thing to keep in mind if you add a dovetail to a van body you may get too much overhang. Better check the laws in your area on how much overhang on the rear you are allowed to have.

so you think i'd be safer with the ramps that fold up against the cab? i know the USA ramps are about 1400 bucks.

The overhang will become a real problem if you use a cabover with a cube van because most of these trucks already have a decent amount of overhang with the van. When you look at the side of the truck you look at how much of the van body is behind the rear wheels.
